Package: wicd
Version: 1.6.2.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi!
I'm having troubles starting wicd lately, it seems like some
configuration file syntax has changed and wicd stops starting with it.
This is the content of my configuration file, I never touched it by
hand:
#v+
[DEFAULT]
lastused = True
[wired-default]
afterscript = None
use_static_dns = False
disconnectscript = None
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
dns1 = None
lastused = False
broadcast = None
default = 1
netmask = None
dns2 = None
beforescript = None
predisconnectscript = None
ip = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False
[home]
afterscript = None
use_static_dns = True
disconnectscript = None
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
dns1 = 213.129.232.1
lastused = False
broadcast = None
default = 0
netmask = 255.255.255.0
dns2 = 213.129.226.2
beforescript = None
predisconnectscript = None
ip = 10.0.0.27
gateway = 10.0.0.1
use_global_dns = False
[]
#v-
According to the log (which is sitting in a strangely permissioned
directory: 1363?! what for?! ... and please chown :adm) the issue seems
to be the empty block at the end:
#v+

#v-
Unfortunately, running /etc/init.d/wicd start doesn't give any hint, it
even exits with 0 which is wrong (and is part of the justification for
the severity).
Removing the empty block [] from the wired-settings.conf makes the
problem go away, but as said, I never hand-touched that file (yet) and
thus suspect an error somewhere in wicd - besides that it shouldn't
break like that. :/
Thanks!
